Liang Junhao from China

My Canadian high school experience will continue to encourage me on my way to pursuing my dream. So I truly believe I will succeed and realize my dream!" In 2019, I just arrived in Canada. I was in a strange place, and my lack of familiarity brought me a lot of anxiety. However, as the school began, I gradually met people who were willing to accept me, who were not good at English and knew nothing. They showed me the way in my life. Among them are teachers, classmates, and my host family. Gradually, I fell in love with Canada, its people, environment, and culture. I began to enjoy this unique thing. It was a completely different experience for me because I became mature and independent. In school Mouat, I met a lot of friends, they come from all over the world, we shared our interesting experiences and culture with each other, so three years passed unconsciously, the happy three years will be remembered in my heart. Because of this international student program, I met a good host family who patiently taught me English and took me to experience some novel activities. For me, they are my second home. I feel very grateful to my host family and Abbotsford International Department. After I came to Canada, my goal was set, because my high school computer programming and modeling classes gave me a vision for the game industry. So, for me, it's not just about playing a fun game, it's about making the best game. Therefore, I also like to master the knowledge proficiently in a computer science major in the future, so that I can achieve my dream. So going aboard makes a huge difference, becoming independent, thinking critically, and having some life skills.
